They say that everything new is well forgotten old, so often things that the same designers once called outdated become fashionable.

The Soviet interior, which mainly combined the ideas of minimalism and practicality, is of increasing interest.

No one is forcing you to hang your carpets back on the wall or buy bulky wall units. Here are 6 details from the past that can make your interior fashionable.

1. Carpets

Today, a carpet serves not so much as a decoration as an interior complement. It is important that the floor covering harmonizes with the furniture and fits into the overall color scheme.

2. Furniture

Many summer residents have armchairs and sofas with wooden armrests in their homes. Modern manufacturers choose more noble types of wood for such furniture - solid oak or beech. But otherwise, armchairs from the 60s can decorate the interior.

3. Crystal

They say that crystal with its marvelous carving is replacing glassware. Surely, salad bowls, glasses and other dishes from the USSR are stored in any apartment.

4. Stucco

If the ceilings are high, then the stucco will become a real decoration. It looks no less impressive on the walls, and not only in white.

5. Glass blocks

This material transmits light very well, remains durable and is a very practical element. If earlier it was found only in baths, now glass blocks are used to decorate kitchens and bathrooms.

6. Parquet

It is difficult to imagine a person who would dare to remove the parquet and replace it with linoleum or another synthetic covering. Mostly, solid wood was used to make the parquet, which means that it is not only fashionable, but also environmentally friendly, which is so appreciated by modern tenants.
